WARNINGS: general violence, gun usage, possible attempted murder by fog apparition and mentions of (almost) character death in one of the prompts! geass is wild i guess. if there are any other warning i'll add them here.

FOG - a dark night where nothing can be seen

[ it starts innocently enough. maybe you're in the fog, trying to find your way out, because it's not supposed to be this foggy, and it's almost supernaturally so.

i. it's thick enough to not see where you're going, so it's perfectly understandable that you might have run into lelouch, who is also trying to navigate the fog. except for some reason, he looks edgy, and even if you've bumped into him, all you're going to get is a sound of acknowledgment and furtive glances darting left and right. unless you're actually close to him, which, of course, means you might get a short, curt conversation before everything inevitably goes to hell.

because of course it does.

anyway, give it a couple of moments, and a fog apparition will materialise. it's a boy with brown hair and a white uniform, and he's brandishing a gun, stalking towards lelouch (and you, by extension). there's an inhuman quality about him that betrays the fact that he's definitely a fog apparition, red eyes and almost dedicated in how he lunges in your direction.

and it's obvious that lelouch is this apparition's target, because lelouch instantly is going to grab your hand and run, while the apparition gives chase.

ii. the fog is thick, but perhaps you can make out the outline of two people in the fog, and maybe you're curious to go close enough to investigate. except that when you step closer, you're going to end up hearing the sounds of choking, and also the scrambling of people struggling.

move closer and you'll see the source - lelouch is on the ground, and someone's got a hand wrapped around his throat, and he's struggling to breathe, making small, pained noises while he claws uselessly and attempts to fight his attacker off.

intervene? hurry, you don't have much time left.

[ note: fog!suzaku is very intent on killing lelouch but the scene can be disrupted by a third party. violence against fog!suzaku is very appreciated. ]

iii. or maybe you're a little bit too late, and while you're walking through the fog, you may accidentally trip over a body.

okay, it's not really a body, but lelouch is passed out on the ground, and he possibly has bright red hand prints around his neck, or illusionary gunshot wounds at point blank in the middle of his forehead or on the left side of his chest. the only thing that's telling about him not being an actual like, dead person, is the lack of any kind of blood. so, what the fuck just happened?

perhaps you should wake him up. ]

NIGHTMARES - if i can’t avoid it then i'll close my eyes and dream of you

[ lelouch doesn't really have that many nightmares, but somehow, if you somehow end up walking into his nightmares;

i. it's night time, and lelouch is standing in a hospital room. there's a sheet over the figure on the bed, and for once, lelouch looks entirely devastated. close cr will and should be able to recognise the name of lelouch's younger sister on the label of the bed.

ii. and this time, you'll find him on his knees, shaking terribly. he's in the middle of what looks like a battlefield, the aftermath of a particularly gruesome one, the air thick with smoke and blood, bodies littered on the ground and his face is completely white. not with fear, but with anger.

alternatively, he's most likely to stumble into your nightmares. ]

WILDCARD - could you fall down a little harder?

( want a specific prompt? let me know and i'll write a specific starter for you! )

[RIP in rest Lelouch, who may now also have a small bruise from where Kashuu's boot definitely just whopped him in the ribcage in addition to his ghostly injuries...

That said, after stumbling and then realizing exactly what it was that he stumbled over in the first place, he's immediately scrambling back so he can shake the guy's shoulder and feel for a pulse.]

Hey— Hey! Can you hear me?

["Are you real" is probably also a legitimate question he should be asking, what with the way the fog works, but he doesn't think to. Not when it looks like the poor guy is just a straight-up strangulation victim.]

Fog was proving to be the biggest pain for Ritsu today by far. He's experience the terrible nightmares but since his sleep schedule is backwards it's rare. But this was something he couldn't escape easily.

Straining his eyes he rubs them before bumping into Lelouch, the blinks and looks at the man who is rather on edge. Was the fog playing tricks on him too? Ritsu tries to look around to see what he sees until he sees the image of someone and then they are running. His arm is jerked hard enough that he nearly falls but catches himself.]

Hey!

[This was terrible.

The smoke and the blood is an unpleasant mix in the air, enough to make him cover his nose in disgust. However, he sees Lelouch in the kneeling in the middle of it, shaking. Concern is quick to take over and he carefully treads around the corpses, ignoring the squish of his shoes sinking into puddles of blood.

When he comes closer, his voice is quiet, careful.]

Lelouch?

[So Baren doesn't tend to participate in killing intent. For all his difficulty, he doesn't even like fighting all that much outside of sparring and even that is only very recent -

So maybe it's a little shocking when there's zero hesitation for him to come leaping out of seemingly nowhere to very thoroughly and unflinchingly kick Suzaku in the face. He lands light on his feet and keeps his gaze trained on this person that he can only call an enemy.]

Hey.

Disappear already.

[ and guess what, this fog version of suzaku doesn't look very pleased that he's been interrupted by baren, because while baren's kick in the face is enough to stop him from continuing to actually try and kill lelouch, it's not enough to get him to actually disappear yet.

so while he leaves lelouch for dead on the ground - his throat hurts, and his breathing is kind of ragged and shallow - suzaku turns his attention to baren, and cocks the pistol that he's holding in baren's face.

that's not good.

tell me, is this the kind of person you want to protect? suzaku asks, and although it's directed at baren lelouch flinches, even as lelouch tries to push himself up from being all sprawled out on the ground. ]

Baren-- [ and lelouch coughs because goddamnit, being strangled earlier means that it hurts to talk, but this has to be said anyway. he wants to tell baren to run, because goddamnit he's not going to watch baren get shot even if he has no idea whether the bullets are real or not in this fog. ]

[Maybe he should be more concerned when it comes to staring down the barrel of a gun.

Maybe.

But he isn't. He tilts his head and doesn't flinch, because Baren doesn't seem to know how to be scared of anything. His answer is careless, certain:]

Yup. So that means you're a problem for me.

[... Well. He sure has just walked into a thing. He's immediately horrified, recoiling when he realizes what he's stumbled across — and then he's reacting. As in, he's intervening by proceeding to kick Suzaku in the head like he's some sort of murderous soccer ball and not a person.

Either way, this is probably the way they all die or something?? Hi, Lelouch.]

[ keith did indeed walk into a thing!

fortunately for both of them this isn't the way that they all die or something, because the distraction is enough for suzaku to at least pause in attacking lelouch and for lelouch to at least roll out of reach while suzaku focuses its attention on keith instead.

and lelouch's breathing is ragged, and his throat hurts, and he's about to throw out a warning - to run, or just to get away - before the apparition dissipates, and when it does, lelouch is on his knees, and he does glance up at keith with a slight incline of his head.

he'll say thank you properly in a bit when he doesn't feel like he's actually going to die, oh god. ]

[ this fog thing is fucking annoying. mary already hates everything halloween related, and after the monsters over the summer, she really hates monsters. so, she's taken to walking home from her night class (which is, of course, never cancelled) with a cutesy self defense weapon on her fist.

and for once, it's coming in really, really handy. she almost runs right into the spectacle happening with the person choking--and though she'd like to ignore it, that's lelouch and like hell she's leaving him alone.

so. mary, coming up from behind, does the smartest thing she can do--she delivers a kick to the back of the attacker with her louboutins. ] Get off him!

[ cutesy self defense weapon or no, there's a reason why lelouch has never ever underestimated mary saotome.

for a fog apparition, lelouch's attacker is surprisingly solid, so when Mary's louboutins collide with the back of suzaku's head, it's. definitely going to hurt, ouch. but it's also an excellent distraction because the apparition stops trying to strangle lelouch, but uh, oops, he's going to be turning his attention on mary now, gun trained in her face.

yikes.

it's enough time for lelouch to at least somewhat recover, though, and despite him being a skinny beanpole with shitty stamina, he's going to at the very least be able to tackle the apparition because hell if he's going to let mary take a bullet for him, apparition or not. ]

Saotome-- Mary, run!

[ it's yet another unavoidable foggy night, and apparently it's unavoidable for sena to trip over something on the way home from the university. ]

Ow, what the hell -

[ and he freezes at the sight of lelouch looking practically half-dead. ]

Lu? Oh my god, Lulu--

[ he crouches down, slowly propping lelouch's body up, checking for vital signs. is he still breathing? ]

[ thankfully, he is, indeed, still breathing! which is a good thing, because it would be a shame to kill him off so early in the game.

probably.

but yeah, anyway, if sena checks his vital signs, they're there, just. a little fainter than usual. it does, however, also take a while for lelouch to stir, although the moment he jerks awake, his hand is going to go towards his own throat, almost as if he can't believe he's still alive.

when he turns to look at sena, it's with an almost wild, alarmed expression. ]

... Sena...? What-- [ a sharp inhale ] ... I'm not--?

[ uh yeah he's not. making the most sense right now. ]

You're not dead, at least. [ can't resist the deadpanning, but he can't help but heave out a sigh of utter relief because holy fucking shit, sena legit thought that he'd tripped over the chess club captain's corpse.

but enough about that. putting lelouch's arm around his shoulders, he hoists him up so that lelouch is standing. ]

What even happened to you? Did a mugger get you or something?

[ he resists the urge to laugh at the deadpanning, at least.

because hey, at least that's how he knows that sena isn't some kind of apparition sent to torment him or something like that, as the fog seems to be doing lately, but even so, lelouch does accept sena's help in standing, and it's a good thing they're kind of the same height because lelouch is definitely leaning a little on sena for support. ]

No. Not a mugger, I-- [ his gaze flickers over towards something in the distance, kind of, beyond where sena is standing, almost as if he's watching out for something.

or someone. ]

... Something in the fog has been attacking me. He only appears when the fog comes, and--

[ the bright red hand prints around his neck should be pretty self explanatory, actually, for what happens next, even if lelouch doesn't say anything further. ]

[ he follows lelouch's gaze but sees nothing in sight at all. it's as if he's experiencing deja-vu all over again. ]

You too, huh. Seriously, you guys and your killer clones... It's some cheesy plot of a suspense movie all over again.

[ sena has no right in underestimating that, considering that he's still healing from that slight brush of a gunshot wound from encountering akechi's murderous clone a few nights back. how annoying. but he can't complain any further because he's going to help lelouch walk again. ]

Thankfully the hospital's not too far from here. They can patch you up in the mean time, but... Christ. They really did a number on you, huh? Whoever that is.

[ he doesn't want to look at his neck any further. that looks nasty, man. ]

[ forget the not laughing at the deadpanning. sena being this well, flippant (?) about the entire situation and the fact that he's probably encountered someone's killer clone - the image is enough to make him laugh, at least. even though the laughter sounds hollow to his own ears.

he does, however, tug the collar of his shirt up a little bit further to obscure the hand prints. it definitely looks nasty and they're already heading towards the hospital, the last thing he wants is for more people to stare and for the rumour mill to go completely on overdrive, pretty much. ]

Not a killer clone, I think. [ he sounds tired. maybe he should just stay home and not go out anymore. that would probably help. ] He looks... familiar, but I can't place him yet.

[ translation: memory bullshit. sena's probably fluent enough in lelouch speak by now to hear the things that he isn't saying. ]

[ so it's more memory bullshit. sena figures as much as he half-drags lelouch towards the direction of of the hospital. christ, those handprints really were something, weren't they? it's not gonna leave sena's mind any time soon, to be honest. ]

From the looks of it, it looks like someone's really dead-set on killing you. Is this some sort of assassination plot against the almighty emperor or something?

[ because eat your goddamn heart out, archduke ferdinand. ]
